The Institute of Groundsmanship (IOG) have issued a statement saying they have been working hard on behalf of its members to answer their questions.

In an official announcement on their website, Geoff Webb, CEO, says, "At this difficult and unprecedented time, we understand that livelihoods and businesses may be at stake. It has proved difficult to get complete clarity for our entire membership, but we’re working hard to get a deeper understanding by networking and raising your concerns with the sports bodies, and Government, this past week.

"Our membership is hugely diverse and operates across multiple sports and sectors – and we’re listening to concerns from professionals and volunteers working in multiple environments, and across sectors. We strongly advise that all those working in the grounds industry monitor the government’s latest guidance, and frequently check the website for your relevant body.

"Ultimately, our primary concern is protecting the safety and wellbeing of anyone and everyone across the turf care sector."
